Auto-Refresh Issue with Grafana, Promtail, and Loki Setup

Grafana Loki

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with my Grafana setup where the auto-refresh feature isn’t working as expected. I’m using Grafana with Nginx, Promtail, and Loki, all running in Docker containers. I’ve set the auto-refresh interval to 5 seconds in the Grafana dashboard settings, but new logs only appear when I manually refresh the Grafana tab.

Here are some details:

  • Logs appear correctly when I manually refresh the Grafana tab.
  • Promtail is configured to send logs to Loki, and Loki seems to be receiving them without issues.
  • All components are running in Docker containers.
  • I use Chrome browser

I’ve checked the network connectivity, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem or have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If it works when you manually refresh then it’s most likely not related to Loki.

What type of visualization are you having problem with? Do you have a screenshot?

I cannot reproduce this issue.

The dashboard from your screenshot doesn’t look like it has auto refresh.
